Owl Stetching Time

They couldn't have come up with a more perfect and literal name: Common Sense.

It's just that--common. That means that everyone doesn't have it. Some people do. Some people are born without it. I am one of those lucky few.

Is it just things that parents fail to teach us? Or are we just idiots? Honestly, when I think about things that the human race have achieved, I'm amazed. Even if I had survived for thousands of years, I could never have figured out how to use things in my surroundings to benefit me. I never would have discovered fire. Internal combustion engine.....what's that? The sun is 93 million miles away? How did we get that?

Anyway, I never knew elevator etiquette until today. I mean, I know not to talk to people, to look straight ahead, and to never fart unless you are about to get off. That's not what I mean. Today, I go into the library, wanting to go to the 5th floor. Before I pressed the up button, a woman pressed the down button and turned to another woman to talk while she waited for the lift. So I thought hey I'll just get on this one. Well I did and as I got in she pressed the 1 button and I pressed the 5 button. She asked me if it did say down, and I said yes, and she said Oh I was just talking and not paying attention. So then it hit me--That's why there are TWO elevator shafts!!! One for down and one for up!!! See, does everyone else know this but us without common sense? I'm such a moron.

Oh, I wish I wouldn'td seen Ricky on the Sidewalk!.....I'm over my honk limit.
